Did anyone start showing early with their first? I am 5’ 6” and a size 4. I am a little over 11 weeks now and I have had a little tummy for about 2 weeks. My tummy is big enough that I realized I need to get maternity pants on Friday because my jeans are digging in where the baby is. I don’t think it is bloating either because my fiancé and half our neighborhood have noticed and said something to me. From reading the blogs, I have heard a lot of people mention 15-20 weeks. I know everyone is different but just curious if anyone else was showing this early.

Same! 5’3 (was approx 140lbs) now I feel huge and have a bump. First pregnancy... and friends tell me it’s bloat cause I find it unusually early to show. Also have a short torso and was wondering if this is bloat or baby?

I’m 5’6 and a size 9....so a little bigger than you. 12 weeks yesterday. But I lost about 12 pounds in my first trimester. I’ve had a consistent, noticeable, firm bump for about a week that is getting bigger and starting to move up! Because I lost weight - I was able to wear some clothes still - and all of my elastic waisted pants still doing ok. But I’m not far out of maternity wear. I’ve been able to hide so far with flowy tops but definitely got my belly rubbed when I wore something a little more form fitting! You’re not alone!! I thought I was way early too!
